Just The Crust 26/02/24: Cottons – Laguna ๐Ÿฅช

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from CottonsLaguna“, out this coming Friday 1st March! ๐Ÿ™Œ

we’ve covered Cottons a bunch before, and we love their indie-pop-esque styling, with so much inspiration put into their music. they performed for us back before the pandemic and have been going from strength to strength ever since! โ˜€๏ธ

their new single “Laguna” comes out this Friday, and it sounds fantastic – with such a luscious groove behind it, the rhythm working in perfect unison to create such a great sound. it gives such space for the vocal to take control over the track, making sure the listener hangs onto every word, a real lovely lyrical ability present in the track as well, almost like a conversation with a more deadpan and relaxed delivery. the guitar tone is gorgeous, being super dreamy and creating a great soundscape behind the track for it to open up so well in the chorus with a massive sound, and the synth-pop elements work so well with the rest of the track – a fantastic tune! ๐ŸŽถ

you can find their music on all streaming services, including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/4RAFwMUN6w4OdxCtjr2BHT – well worth listening to all their tunes! ๐Ÿ‘Š

all of our features, reviews, music and more can be found on our website at www.breadrecords.co.uk ๐Ÿž
